Answer:
- Empirical:
- Molecular:
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, based on the information regarding the combustion, the moles of carbon turn out:
Moreover, the moles of hydrogen:
Thus, the subscripts of carbon and hydrogen in the hydrocarbon turn out:
Now, looking for a suitable whole number we obtain the following empirical formula as 2.335 times 3 is 7 for hydrogen:
In such a way, that compound has a molar mass of 43 g/mol, thus, the whole compound's molar mass is 86.18 g/mol for which the molecular formula is twice the empirical one, therefore:
Which is hexane.
Best regards.
The total number of atoms make up the products :
D) 1 carbon, 4 hydrogen, and 4 oxygen
<h3>Further explanation </h3>Complete combustion of Hydrocarbons with Oxygen will produce CO₂ and H₂O compounds.
If O₂ is insufficient there will be incomplete combustion produced by CO and H and O
Hydrocarbon combustion reactions (especially alkanes)
For combustion of methane (CH₄) and two molecules of oxygen (O₂).
The number of atoms make up the products
CO₂ : 1 carbon, 2 oxygen
2H₂O : 4 hydrogen , 2 oxygen
